DTF printing is a cutting-edge method for creating custom apparel. Unlike traditional printing methods, DTF allows for high-definition prints on a wide range of fabrics, including:

  • Cotton
  • Polyester
  • Blends
  • And more.

The process involves printing your design onto a special film, which is then transferred onto the fabric using heat. This results in vibrant, long-lasting prints that don’t fade or crack, even after multiple washes.
